  • Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

    I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I’m hella interested in but don’t get much play here. There’s basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

    Each day i feel too normie for this place

    I’m not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,



  • It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

    Specifically for me?

    • Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don’t have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
    • Talking to my side of the family
    • Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
    • Code-switching to talk to white people.
    • Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
    • Dealing with zoners in fighting games
    • Lingering in silent spaces.
    • Following recipes.

    Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let’s do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.



  • Damn, that’s fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

    Edit: Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

    Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

    A real life example of “Stop scaring the hoes”

    I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.






  • The RDNA 2 vs Ampere generation featured the 6900 XT vs the 3090 in a really competitive showdown.

    The RDNA 3 vs Ada generation sees AMD compete really strongly everywhere except the very very top. The 7900 XTX is cheaper and faster at raster than the 4080 and 4080 Ti in most cases (with worse efficiency and RT), for instance. You can make a competitive argument for either company at each pricing segment except Nvidia below $200 and AMD at the very very top.

    That’s a farrrr cry from “the 8700 XT competes with the 5070, but past that there’s no AMD card”

    It’s reminiscent of the RDNA 1 vs Turing, where the 6700 XT and 2070 were competitive but AMD had no answer for the 2080, let alone the 2080 Ti, except this time it’ll be more obvious since they’ll be a 5090 as well.
